Career Specialist Dana Marlow reports on her customer. “Dustin was 33 years old, married, and a father of 2 children when he first came to Man-Tra-Con for job search assistance in November 2020. He had been unemployed for one year after being “laid-off” from his job at Nasco in Nashville, Illinois, where he worked as a forklift driver,” Dana explains.
Jefferson County Development Corporation (JCDC), in collaboration with Man-Tra-Con Corporation, celebrated Manufacturing Day on Tuesday, October 26, 2021.
Career Specialist Jorrell Bonner reports on his customer, “David and his family recently moved from Canada to Ashley, Illinois, to run a farm. Since he was homeschooled in another country, his education was not recognized by the United States. David still needed a high school diploma, and was able to start and complete his GED online through Rend Lake College at no cost. He even received financial incentives from Man-Tra-Con every time he went to class or passed an exam,” Jorrell explains.
Man-Tra-Con Corporation and the American Job Center Southern Illinois are now located near the Oasis Mall in Marion, across from Target, between W Outer Drive and Osage Drive on Civic Circle Boulevard.
